    I would start Wright. Give him a shot.

    Spot on post Schilly! They are essentially the same player. Not looking to score, (Batum) long, pesky defenders at 6'10 each. (Batum is 6'8.) Good rebounders. Wright has quicker hands and will hit a 3 before Victor..so Wright probably starts and Victor would sub in. I agree with Tone that Victor may be the smartest position defender on the bench.

    Aldridge is to slow to keep up with a SF who takes off from the 3p line. His length would give him a nice chance to block the shot from behind but I don't see him being able to stay in front of a SF or prevent a SF from getting getting into the paint.

    Maybe they will start CJ and play Matthews at SF. If Wright can't get off the bench I don't see why he'd leap frog into the starting lineup.

    You can think of one game only? Oh yeah I forgot, you are Kingspeed.

    Regardless, I don't even know what his line was then. Share the stats please

    Seems like LMA had a decent game. 7-13 shooting, 16 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals vs Lakers

    considering you probably allowed espn to cultivate your love for kobe, you probably shouldnt be opening this can of worms.
